In actual fact, everyone with a mind (even an unsound one) can be a member of a think tank. Don&#8217;t let the publicity of the think tank unnerve you, as behind their PhDs and so-called political connections and vast\u00a0academic\u00a0experience, they do nothing except talk, talk and talk. Nothing more. This in fact could easily be done (without calling it a think tank) at a small gathering of talkative friends at the comforts of a coffee shop or a bar. Whats\u00a0obscene about think tanks are their members. Snobbish fucks. Arrogant motherfuckers with a air of pretense. What do they, as individuals, contribute to the community?\u00a0And how can they by being\u00a0prestigious members of this private think tank contribute as a whole? Oh come now, shit, don&#8217;t tell me they can give ideas and recommendations to the government! A taxi driver can do that, so can a butler and a policeman. You don&#8217;t need a fancy degree and a &#8220;Dr&#8221;\u00a0in front\u00a0of your name to contribute ideas.\u00a0\u00a0Who determined these moronic standards anyway?<\/p>\n<p>How many think tanks are there in your country? What have these groups done to directly solve the poverty problem in your country? Have they done anything for street children and their livelihood?<\/p>\n<p>I say these\u00a0bourgeois idiots pretend that they are contributing to the country. A bunch of\u00a0privileged,\u00a0accent-loving pricks, claiming to be an expert on something which they are obviously not. Don&#8217;t waste time with these elites, but if you need opinions about the economy, go ask a janitor, teacher, druguser or even a beach bum. If you want views on politics, don&#8217;t waste time with ass-kissing wannabes, instead go talk to the door-to-door salesman, the laborer, the social worker, and even the bus driver.<\/p>\n<p>Think tanks?
